To all whom it may will/67%! parts are identical in form and construction.

Be it known that I, HERMAN HOLLANDT, a Thus each of the said parts A and B comcitizen of the United States of America, and prises two pan portions 1 and 2, semicircua resident of Brooklyn, in the State of New lar in cross-section, excepting interlocking 55 York, have invented a new and useful Imflanges t and i together with end pieces 3 provement in Baking-Pans, of which the foland 4 and a marginal frame 5, which incloses lowing is a specification. the pair of receptacles formed by said pan This invention relates primarily to covered portions and end pieces.

Each of the parts A and 13 may so made to include more than two pan portions in like manner, uncovered pans may be made identical with said parts individually, the pan portions 1 and 2 may be stamped with integral ends, so as to dispense with said end pieces 3 and 4, and other like modifications will suggest themselves to those skilled in the art.

As shown in the accompanying drawings and as above particularly described, the improved pan is designed to be made wholly of suitable tin-plate, excepting only the pintlewire 1) and the fastening f, which are of suitable iron.

Having thus deseribed the said improve ment, I claim as my invention and desire to patent under this specification 1. A covered and duplex or multiple bakin g-pan composed of two similar parts united at one edge by a hinge and provided at the other edge with a suitable fastening, each of said parts comprising pan portions interlocked with each other, and a surrounding frame, the respective members of which are L-shaped in cross-section, interlocked with said pan portions, and serving to render the pan and each of its parts rigid and to provide the pan with thin rim-flanges, substantially as hereinbefore specified.

2. In a baking-pan, the combination of two or more pan portions interlocked with each other, and a surrounding frame interlocked with said pan portions and having stiffeningflanges which project in the same direction as the convexities of the pan portions and extend across the joint or joints between the pan portions, substantially as hereinbefore specified.
